The Power of Honesty

The biggest and
most attractive part of anybody’s character is their ability to express and
show honesty.

In any situation
we are all compellingly attracted to the honest expression of what constitutes
being human. Nothing contributes more to success than the true expression of
what you are.

People are drawn
to honest endeavour because within that honesty there is a reflection of inner
truth. This reflection is a mirror image of what is within each and every one
of us. As I witness your honesty I also see myself. Regardless of life’s
situation or circumstances - from sales to love affairs- the one catalyst to
successful outcomes is always honesty.

We all
instinctively detect the magnitude of truth that, like a road map to life,
provides meaning and strength. In short, having an appreciation of how to
express your honesty is the greatest gift you can possibly have.

A friend once
asked me why I thought a couple we both knew were no longer happy together. My
reply was that everything he disliked about himself he could see in abundance
in his wife and vice versa. If only this couple could express the honesty of
their situation and of their feelings they could have a world of engagement,
rather than one of reflecting to each other all that was wrong about them selves.

In other words,
be honest about how you feel about your self and then in turn you can’t help
but express your self in truth and hopefulness about how you feel about the
world you live in.

If you feel bad
about your self, look at the real reason. If you feel bad about yourself
because you think you married the wrong person or you’re in the wrong job or
there is undue pressure coming from some aspect of your life stop in your
tracks, take a good, hard look at your world and explore what brings you to the
place where it all seems so bleak.

If you feel that
everything about your partner is wrong then address it. If your job is nothing
more than a daily headache come to terms and reason with how you can change it.

It is only
through honest analysis that you can make decisions that give you a real reason
to live with some degree of mindfulness.
